Growing carnations in Missouri is a popular and efficient method for propagating these beautiful flowers. This article covers various aspects such as best growing conditions, soil selection, fertilizers, watering requirements, diseases and pests, pruning techniques, planting time, and more. Carnations are known for their elegant cut flowers with long, straight stems and fragrant, showy blooms that last a long time. They can be grown as annuals in zones 7-10 and can be cultivated in landscape fabric, 9 inches apart, with 5 rows per bed.
To make cut carnation flowers last longer, follow these steps: 1) Put the fresh cut flower stems in water as soon as possible; 2) Fill the vase or container with water. Carnations are grown for their beautifully fringed, fragrant blooms that make them a long-lasting cut flower to enjoy in a vase. Flowering will begin in late spring and continue well into autumn.
To add carnations to your garden, choose a spot with full sun, at least six hours of direct light per day, and well-drained soil. Keep them out of direct sunlight and away from cold drafts or heat sources. Carnations can last in a vase for 7-18 days, with spray carnations having a longer vase life than standard carnations. To preserve carnations, gather materials, select flowers and a vase of choice, fill the vase with 1/2 full of water, and trim the stems every few days.
